Personal protective equipment: safety and comfort for healthcare operators and patients

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is crucial for protecting the health of healthcare operators and patients at healthcare facilities.

Preventing infection is an absolute priority at facilities like hospitals, clinics and surgeries, where there is a high risk of exposure to pathogens. 

PPE creates a physical barrier against biological risks, protecting those who work and those receiving treatment.

International and national legislation sets stringent standards for the use of personal protective equipment at healthcare facilities.

Such regulations stipulate that PPE must be made with adequate materials and certified to satisfy specific protection requirements. 

In Italy for example, Legislative Decree 81/08 regulates the use of PPE at the work place, listing healthcare facilities as environments at high risk of exposure to infections. 

The adoption of equipment compliant with such standards is essential for the safety of healthcare operators and patients alike.

Knowledge of materials and certifications, fundamental aspects in choosing the ideal equipment

Each type of PPE has specific characteristics that make it more or less suitable in certain circumstances. 

For example, surgical masks must be certified to guarantee adequate filtering, whereas sterile gowns must comply with protection standards against fluids and contamination. 

It is important to choose PPE according to the type of risk present in a specific healthcare environment.

Fit is also a crucial factor when choosing PPE. 

Use of poorly fitting equipment like gowns and masks over extended periods of time, may result in discomfort. 

Lightness, breathability and adjustability of equipment for perfect fit are essential characteristics for ensuring the healthcare operator's comfort during long working hours.
